Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

I got a vote! It's been a while since I got one, and it feels good. Many thanks Spurring Platty.

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

I just noticed Southron Sword voted for me too. Wheeeeeee!

Just "Wheeeeeee!"? Getting blasé are we, now?!

But was it the Royal wheeee...?

 

[No One]

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Well I don't know about wheeeees, but I'll give a woohoo and many thanks to Parson for the vote (whose opinion on Dune I also happen to agree with, which is utterly besides the point ).

Also thanks to Perpertual Man for the shortlisting!

It was a firework wheeeeeee -- indicating me shooting off into the sky in a blaze of sparks. So slightly blazé, yes.

Hm. I would like to apologise for that and assure you that from now on I'm going to leave the puns to Ursa.

Thanks for the mention, Parson!

So many good entries again that I don't even know where to start - but then I remembered that we get three votes, there's still hope!

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Many, many thanks for the vote, TDZ.



And belated thanks for the mention, Parson.

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

I wouldn't hold your breath. I just noticed Southron Sword voted for me too. Wheeeeeee!

(thank you very much, Southron Sword)

No worries. There's something about children who are in complete control that I find amusing or atleast worth reading about. They also make creepy subjects for stories.

Thanks for the vote, TDZ.

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Honorable mentions for Parson(loved the ending lines) Karn and Slack!

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Well from my final nine I narrowed it down to four, and that was painful enough. Anyway I'm about to vote, but have to mention Mosaix, because his was so close to my final decision and coast me at least three fingernails.

Brev was like that for me -- cost me four

Thanks for the mention Greenkidx. It helps move the day along in a good way.

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Eh! First I'm accused of bribery and corruption with spiritous liquors, now it's theft.** I dunno. Less of this lèse majesté... lèse judgesté... *checks Chrons statutes regarding contempt of court... er... contempt of 300 Word Challenges*


Anyway, thanks No One and TDZ! Thanks also to surreptitious voters!


** though if I'm stealing from No One that means there's no offence anyway...

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Thanks for the mention, PM. Sorry about the finger nails.

I object your honour! On what grounds you ask? Um...

*shakes a fist*

...gah, my own power turned against me.

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

Ooh. I've just noticed No One has 979 posts. Which is only *counts hurriedly on fingers* 21 posts shy of 1,000. Not only does 1,000 bring membership of the Prestigious 1,000 Post Club, it also means, by long established tradition, a baptism of fire in Critiques...

Re: Discussion 300 Word Challenge #2

My thanks to No One for the vote!

Does that mean I got no votes? Or just that I'm not thanking anyone? Hmm....
